500 Word Game Reviews: Renowned Explorers

More than any other game I’ve reviewed so far, I’ve had to simplify this and leave a lot out. 500 words doesn’t do it justice!

Renowned Explorers (2015) – Turn-based strategy, PC.

500 Word Game Reviews – The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Tactics

It’s been almost two years since I watched The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance on Netflix (and the original film, which I only got around to a week or so before). I absolutely loved it, and was gutted when it wasn’t renewed for a sequel. Oh well, at least I can revisit the world and its characters through the medium of gaming instead, right?

500 Word Game Reviews: Caesar IV

Impressions Games’ series of city builders, especially Caesar III and Pharaoh, were a big part of my childhood. But Caesar IV, released 8 years after its predecessor and using a completely different engine, was all new to me…

500 Word Game Reviews – Dead in Bermuda

Enough ridiculously difficult mid 90s RPGs. Time for something more casual… is what I thought, going into this game, but I was soon reminded that ‘simple’ doesn’t always mean ‘easy’!

500 Word Game Reviews: Orwell

Two game reviews in a row, as I’m not quite ready to make an end of season anime post yet (still waiting on the finales of One Punch Man and Attack on Titan).

…I haven’t forgotten about Brain Powerd either, but that’s taking a while for me to get through.

500 Word Game Reviews: Age of Wonders II

Not all turn-based strategy games can be Heroes of Might and Magic III, but it doesn’t hurt to occasionally look at some of the other franchises which were around at the same time. 🙂
